Confession

[emmademarais]

I confess I have no authority or special knowledge on the subject of world religions. Any and all of this may be wrong.

Shema Yisrael
Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
Hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord

Our Father
Pater Noster, qui es in caelis
Our Father, who art in heaven

Hindu prayer
Thiru anga malai
For good health of all body parts

Mourner's Kaddish
Y'hei sh'lama raba min sh'mayaMay there be abundant peace from Heaven

This series is so affecting and emotional. I love it! especially this:

Liz silently presses a change of clothes from her trunk into Amita's hands as she leads a dazed and trembling Robin into the ladies room.

Amita helps her clean up - for when Don wakes up. When, she stresses.

After three hours in surgery, the doctors thankfully don't make a liar of her.

"Thiru anga malai..."

I love the extended family feeling here - most of them with no blood in common, but all hopeful for Don and supporting each other. I pray when my time comes, I will have just such an extended family around me.

/smishes you/ ♥

I just had to second this comment (and take the chance to say hi to melissima :)

*huggles you both*

This is very powerful.

I spent a little while thinking of how this could have gone differently in this episode.

Brava, Emma.

I often wondered the alternative of that last scene of Arrow of Time. It could have gone down quite bloody as you depicted.

Very nice. Interesting take on both what could have been and the rewind. Not as angsty as I expected but I quite liked it.
